JACK
"Perhaps Frey could kindly miss out the wrinkles when they age you up," Jack reasons with an easy roll of his shoulders. "It might be worth it for the look on your father's face." Because ten years would make Flora exactly Remi's age, and if the Bastion had complaints before, Jack senses that this might be the final straw. Still, of all the things that Flora is and isn't, the captain can absolutely appreciate the steel in her spine and the stubbornness that comes along with it.
"Well aren't you kind. I wonder how those things will affect the measurements, and how much your mother will enjoy that at her wedding." With a scoff at the mere thought, Jack still won't complain at having company for however long he's meant to suffer by standing still while the tailor does his thing.
Turning his head a fraction as if to lean into the fingers threading through his hair, Flora's thoughts bloom to life down the roots of his magic, growing buds of their own in his mind. "I like you too," he says, as if she might not have realised that much all this time. Letting his fingers spread in a starburst against her lower back, he leans in close enough that his words all but brush across her lips.
"What would I have to gain by hurtin' your feelings at this point?" he says quietly. "Or lettin' you hurt them, for that matter."
